[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 8210, member: 1133"] I'm doing some experimenting with the 68/69/70 gr. bullets out of a 26"=barrelled AR in .223 AI. I'm getting a good working load that nets around 3100 f.p.s m.v. I've shot 7X9" 1" thick jugs of water with 70 JLK's at 550 and 675 yds., and terminal ballistics were not explosive at all. The 69 gr. Nosler Comps. were explosive on 600 yd. gallon jugs at a similar velocity. All this is to try and determine the maximum range which the .223 is effective for shooting coyotes. I shot a coyote last year @ 550 yds. with a 69 gr. Nosler, and it was killed quickly with a nickel size exit wound, but nothing at long range since. [/QUOTE]
